Bum Bulbs

The Sex in the Shower Silicone Waterproof anal beads were a great addition to my new yet growing selection of anal toys. They are body safe, soft, bendable, have comfortable girth and cleanup is a breeze. I would recommend these to beginners and advanced users alike.

Sportsheets' Sex in the Shower waterproof anal beads is a body safe toy that can be used by beginners as well as advanced users. They are silicone and waterproof and can be used anywhere, by both men and women. Being plush and bendable, they aren't ideal for thrusting but their bulbous shape makes insertion and removal pleasurable, specifically if pulled out as climax is being reached. They can be used alone or during vaginal penetration.

These anal beads are made of silicone. They are nonporous, hypoallergenic and free of phthalates which gives this fine material a rating of 10 on Eden's safety scale. It is a very sleek silicone and does not have any drag to it. I am very impressed with the quality of this material at such an affordable price. This chain of beads is bendable, soft to the touch and has a velvety feel. Anal toys should always have a generous amout of lube applied before use. There were no noticeable smells or tastes.

The handle of the toy, which looks like a clear blue O shaped ring is made of ABS Plastic. This material has a safety rating of 8. It is nonporous and this portion of the toy does not get inserted, so there should be no worries as far as that's concerned.

Having an overall bulbous/bumpy texture, these beads are ideal for anal play since the toy is meant to be used to insert and pull out. The beads themselves are very smooth and pleasing to the touch... and the ass.

The Sex in the Shower waterproof anal beads are 9 inches long, have 9 beads/bulbs, and has a diameter of 1 inch. The perfect combination of satisfying without being intimidating.

Here is a reference photo of the beads in my hand to show just how long they are.

I am a lover of size and girth and these anal beads did not disappoint me. This was my first experience with anal beads and I did not feel they were too large, nor too small. I can't really call them beads because they look more like bulbs. They are a soft baby blue color with a clear blue ABS plastic handle.

The handle is suitable and big enough for me to slip a finger through for easy retrieval. Those with larger fingers may not be able to hook their finger through the ring. Regardless, it makes for a good, sturdy base/handle to the toy.

The soft, pliable material of these beads made the toy very comfortable and pleasureable during use. They did exactly what anal beads are intended to do - creat a nice popping sensation upon insertion and specifically removal.

It will work well for a variety of anatomies because just because this "chain" includes 9 bulbs, you don't have to insert all 9 to get the same amount of pleasure. You can even take them one at a time to see what you're most comfortable with.

These beads are very bendable, but by no means flimsy. The best part of its performance was the fantastic sensations as I pulled the chain of beads out. However, since they are so flexible, inserting the first bulb was a bit difficult. If you take your time and you're nice and warmed up, you'll get them inserted in a breeze.

Since these beads are silicone and waterproof, cleanup is a snap. I typically use toy cleaning wipes on these, however soap and water or a toy cleaner spray would also work just as well. Silicone can usually be boiled to sanitize, but I would forego this option considering the handle is made of plastic and could easily be damaged. If you plan on sharing this toy with a partner or simply want to completely sterilize it, I would recommend cleaning it in a 10% bleach solution.

Silicone toys should not be paired with silicone lubricants, as this could cause damage to the toy. Water based lubricants and oils are just fine. As with all anal toys, lubricant is highly recommended. The tissue in the anal area is very sensitive and a tear in this tissue can cause major discomfort and in some cases, could lead to infection.

In addition, I feel it is important to keep these beads stored away from other toys, just for sanitary purposes. Its original packaging works well for this.

These anal beads come in a plastic clam shell casing that is not discreet as it depicts a naked man and woman in the shower holding the product. The toy was completely visible. I prefer to keep my anal toys separate from one another and other vibrators, so I've been using its original packaging for storage and it has worked out just fine.

This was my first experience with anal beads, and I'm glad I chose the Sex in the Shower Waterproof anal beads for this venture. I have to be in the right mood for anal play, and the day these bad boys arrived on my doorstep happened to be one of those days. I was eager to use them as this is a type of toy I've never used before.

I played with myself vaginally for a bit to get myself craving more. After I was warmed up, I started playing with my ass by teasing the area with my fingers. By that time I was ready to go. I grabbed my water based lubricant and poured some on my fingers and inserted a finger or two into my anus. The beads also got a nice coating in lube, and I grabbed the base of the first bulb and kind of had to "feed" it in due to its flexibility. Once they were in, they felt incredible. I inserted the whole chain up until the last one where the bead meets the plastic handle. I kept playing with myself vaginally (and of course paying special attention to my clit!) and right when I as on the verge of orgasm, I steadily pulled the beads out. It was such a wonderful sensation unlike anything I've ever felt.

I think it's safe to say that I will be picking up more similar products because I truly enjoyed these.

I still love these beads, and they even come in black now - yay!

The baby blue color still makes me think of pools and summertime. Who doesn't like a little summer up their ass? Really though - these beads have held up well. I've been storing them in their original packaging and they've been doing just fine! I haven't even bothered trying any other anal beads since I love these so much.
